Varun Dhawan acted in his father David Dhawan's directorial venture 'Main Tera Hero' last year.

Buzz is that Dhawan Sr has inked a deal to direct a remake of a South flick and speculation is rife that Varun might star in it.

Though the actor is presently busy with Rohit Shetty's 'Dilwale' and his brother, Rohit Dhawan's 'Dishoom', he is likely to take up his dad's next once he wraps up current assignments.
